Compatibility problem between G2 business module and G1

For what it's worth, I've certainly noticed this once or twice, but I
haven't been able to actually track it down.  I've certainly noticed
problems with the bill terms.  I'm just not sure if it's a load-time
issue, save-time issue, or some other memory corruption.

Help debugging this would be greatly appreciated by anyone on the
list.
